Hmm, Maybe I was jumping ahead a bit. So let's start with this question. When you say "garbled" do you mean kind of choppy and may sound like the chipmunks (Alvin)?
If so and you haven't had any Uconnect updates performed then I can help you some there. Here is the link for the 2011 SW update for Uconnect. This update will help that issue and the sound quality is good, just not great and this is due to my earlier explanation about the bitpool rate.
Here are the instructions for the update procedure:
Download it to a thumb drive that has no other files on it. If you have files on it, please delete them and format the drive (to FAT32) just to make sure that it is completely clean.
Turn the radio on, Place the thumb drive in the center console USB connector (on vehicles with the dealer installed unit, it should be in the glove box), press and hold the Uconnect button for about 12 - 15 seconds, you should here "update started". This process should take about 15 - 20 minutes, there will be some beeps during the process. Please listen during the update for any error message that may be said by Uconnect. When the update is completed, the radio screen will go back to a radio display. Now plug in your iPhone or iPod and let it be read by Uconnect, does it start playing after being read? Let me know how this works out for you.http://www.mediafire.com/?qzfm7w2voa50f4m

Well I have an HTC Droid incredible 2 and when I stream the google navigation the nav voice is all cut off at the beginning and sounds like it speeds up while she is talking. You really cant understand the instructions. Also when I had music on my Phone it would start playing all of them at once over and over. I had to delete all the music from the phone to stop it.

This update that I listed is for the Uconnect module. The information that you just listed is the radio SW version. I believe that there is an update for the radio also available and I think the dealer has a CD for that update.
So you may want to call the dealer, speak to a service writer and ask about the updates for both items (radio & Uconnect module).
The TSB for the Uconnect module is 08-019-12, I don't know the # for the radio. Maybe you can post that # here in your next reply. TIA.

yeah, you'll want to do that update, it has been known to help a lot of phones other than just the Apple products. That will take care of the Uconnect module update and the dealer should have the update disc for the radio.
You're welcome buddy.

Did the Uconnect update yesterday and all went smooth. My GPS voice from my phone seems to now work. I only hear it when I am on AUX "Audio Streaming" though. I thought it was supposed to cut in if you are listening to the radio.

Thanks for the update.

Also what will the software update for my Radio from the dealer change in my system?

Glad it helped you out. The radio update will add to the gracenotes library, I believe that travelink will become active also if it's not currently working as well as other enhancements that I don't have full details on.

THANK YOU!!

I had serious issues streaming audio via my bluetooth in my truck until I performed this update. Of course, I assumed initially that the problem was with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S i9000m), and was attempting all varieties of custom ROM in an attempt to get this feature to work. It was driving me nuts!!

It wasn't until a co-worker with the same model of phone mentioned that his worked fine with his Mazda, and it had the same problem with my truck that I realized that it was an issue with the truck.

I performed the update during my daily drive home from work--it took about 15 minutes (and the steady ping... ping... ping... just about had me developing a facial tic) and by the time I got home... fixed!!
